The Norma Effect

March 3, 2020 – March 31, 2020

How might we...

  • Governing Power: How might we shift governing power more towards justice?
  • How can we give more power to folks who have been historically marginalized?
  • How do we start living into democracy now at Washington CAN?
  • How might I model what I want my team to be feeling and doing, finding their own liberation in this fight for liberating our communities?

Hypothesis

If I model love for myself then my team will want to emulate it.

Design

Show love for myself through actions

  • Forward Stance and Tai Ji, 3x a week in morning.
  • Practice brushing with 3-5 people from my team this month.
  • In convo with other people around work life balance also own where I am in and invite them to support me.  
  • Fancy Facial

Metrics

Take note of reactions of staff. 

Notice changes in myself and my leadership.

  • Success: 
    • Feeling less guilt around these practices/actions

Learnings

  • Realizing why I feel like an imposter at times or not the right person for this role is because I feel like I have to be everything for everyone.  (eg. cheerleader, raise payroll, etc)
  • I have a perspective worthy of sharing. My past struggles make me a stronger leader and allow me to offer my experience to staff struggling with similar issues. 
  • My body knows what I need, eg. shifted from doing tai ji to volleyball workout.

Decisions

Keep practicing on a fractal scale: self, team, members, organization, community, world.

Questions

How am I reinforcing and practicing that show self love and self care towards liberation?
